This address was given by Dr. Paul M. Elliott to a meeting of the American Council of Christian Churches on April 28, 2014. Excerpts:

Great Sermon! A timely msg for this time in which we live. Your analogy of an unholy alliance resonates perfectly with what is happening in our country and around the world today.

Great Sermon!
